Attendance of vice-president – who once disbelieved that people listened to classical music for pleasure – strikes sour note at Kennedy Center in light of Maga takeover
The situation invokes a thought of ‘Inglourious Basterds’
I love Chad Lawsons album “Breathe” but haven’t told a single soul IRL. Will listen in my car during long commutes.
His description on irreplaceable, fields of forever and letting go really hit hard during the listen.
So if the idea is people only want status from listening or social drivers to land the act. Then I’m an outlier. Haha. Because I’m so self conscious of the projection of “the type” that listens to it I avoid being seen or known as a listener. If stopped at a light or pulling into a lot will turn it all the way down lol
I just project as a curious intellectual with things and then also enjoy certain classical music or styles in music that capture classical sounds, but feel like my entire appeal or ability to be convincing is meeting people where they are at and then engaging the more theoretical sides from them, once they realize I’m respectful and trusting and not condescending.
I worry that if I pull into work listening to a concerto that I will no longer have the ability for folks to trust that I really can meet them where they are. lol. And I do educate train and onboard / facilitate comprehensive learnings for larger groups in my health care role. So it’s clearly a passion to be effective with that.
Too much anxiety about something that probably doesnt matter clearly per my down votes. Haha. Feel like there is a stigma in sort of being education providing - and condescending. And it becomes harder to dodge that as the first post indicates if say, the first impression is me listening to classical music whilst drinking an IPA haha. My ability to tease out a theoretical thought exercise conversation in a trusting environment might diminish up front (is the fear) and then I won’t effectively engage in my favorite types of discussions.
I get where you’re coming from. I’m an isolated nobody from nowhere with no interest in anything but riding out my time on this rock haha.
If I had as much to think about, I’d be more conscious of those things as well. You have to be.
Thank goodness I don’t. Sometimes I get depressed when I think about who I am and how nihilism and lack of opportunity has made it impossible for me to participate in humanity (hillbilly from the middle of nowhere, 2nd poorest place in America). I’m glad I don’t have that kind of anxiety though. I’m not built for it.
Or maybe I was. I’ll never know.
We should always talk first and roll our eyes later, huh?
You were mocking him for liking IPAs. My point was that it makes no sense to insult what other people like because that’s shitty and taste is subjective. That’s something people do when they want to be mean for no reason.
Being mean for no reason isn’t cool past gradeschool.
I once ran across a Berliner Weisse at a brewer’s festival that made excellent use of pickle juice. I had to try it out of curiosity, and while it was too much on the palate to drink many more than one, had a lived in the area I would have had one every evening. I wish I remembered the brewery so I could recommend it.
Rachmaninov fucking slaps, and IPAs are delicious. Not everybody has the same shitty taste as you.

If I like a song by the Spice Girls I’m telling everyone.
I do. It’s 2 Become 1. It’s cheesy as hell and I’ve been listening to it since I was 10 years old. Check it out. You’ll probably hate it. I don’t.
Haha - I need to take a page out of your book.

The fact that you immediately went to IPAs… Ugh.
Why do people act as if taste isn’t literally subjective?
That was kind of my point but apparently IPAs are a protected species.

You mean the guy who said
Yeah I kind of thought that deserved mockery.

I’m not gonna hate on anyone. I drink pickle juice by the glass. And I do love a cold glass of peperoncini juice….

This is how I always understood Berliner Weisse: it’s more a basis for a drink than a beer in its own right.
But I think most Berliner Weisse are already sold with some taste added.
And I respect your right to give yourself heartburn ❤️
Believe it or not, strong flavors are popular, IPAs are fucking great.
Now pickles, those a fucking garbage no human would willingly eat. Nobody actually likes that shit, people just pretend to so they seem cool.
My wife burns through the pickles here. And get this. She eats them with little cubes of sharp cheddar. Makes my stomach turn just seeing the bowl.
Not me eating pickles straight out of the jar atm
I’m with you brother, my wife makes fun of how many pickles I eat. They are a staple in my refrigerator.
